Big Sean "Finally Famous"

       What did Big Sean do after he was Finally Famous (or at least felt it)? Don the title of his debut album that name. I admit that at first before listening to this I thought it would be an over-hyped, over-produced, and so unworthy of attention it slipped past quality control, and I was right.
 ..or so I thought. I mean, you can think that; just like you can think that I do not know anything about hip-hop, rap, music, or writing in general, and that is ok because that is why they are called opinions. This record had definitely surprised me, and to be honest I haven't listened to it in a few months. It was in the back of my mind to write this review, but I wanted to make sure I waited until the time was write, and I think I can finally give it the proper treatment. Let me "Intro"-duce you to his proclamation. That sounded real smart a few seconds ago, so let's keep it, shall we? "I Do It" big as well, often without compromise, because I like to give people a different kind of review; one that takes into account the work and the toil that inspires some of it, so I often like to keep it positive and constructive, and I put a lot of thought in these things and write them to my best. The word play is in fine form here, "retardedly stupid" would not describe what you are saying, and "I ride around gettin cranium cause my dick is hard as titanium;" that just stood out to me for some reason, and did I mention how bad-a-- the piano arpeggio sounds in this mo-fu? I can confidently say that this will not be "My Last" time listening to this track, this record, or the last collabo we will hear between Sean and Brown (Chris...Brown). There was a reason it became a single, and a hit at that. "Don't Tell You Love Me," because I have trust issues; it is just impossible to me. The audio accompaniment is filled with strings, some blues guitar, and powerful percussion, while the lyrical content is filled with drive and pain "Crazy, when a heart breaks it never breaks even/I even found another girl that's perfect/And I'm the only reason we're not workin'/'Cause what's the perfect girl if it's not the perfect time?" Guys! Lupe! Sean!.."Wait For Me!" Crud, they are much too far ahead for me to catch up, but still "I hope it's not too late for me/Could you just wait for me a while" cause that is what got Sean there, so maybe that would work for me too. I try to work my hardest, but I'm still not sure what to do. It seems like it won't happen, no matter how hard I try, and this confusion does not concern the truth, and it's defintely not a lie. Maybe I'll just feel bad for myself, and sarcastically fake cry. But seriously, things often take longer than expected, so have a little patience, and keep the hope alive, they say "good things come to those who wait" as long as they try. That rhyme took me 3 hours to complete; good though, right?                                                                                I need a break, yo gimme some "Marvin & Chardonnay." I'll take it with horn filled background music, more hooky percussion, and some cognac (pronounced "Kan-ye"). This song is perfect for coming home to just relax, and to think "...this was all inspired by a little Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay." I finally got the title, and Roscoe Dash sounded pretty good on this track; I do not hate Roscoe, but I know why critics and other people despise him; I respect his persistence. Why don't we speed up this sample, so you can actually "Dance (A$$)" to it (shake it loud and proud), add a hand-clap backbeat and u can't touch this. I 'Get It (DT),' but what does that mean? "Ok, you might be cool getting 50/I'm like 'f*** you doing? I need Diddy percent!'..." Pharrell might not mind sharing the spotlight because he sings the hook on this track. This rewrite brings back "Memories (Part II)" probably more than just two parts, and maybe some more emotion than you expected: "I can't look at him in his eyes, you don't know how that s*** feels mentally!" You have John Legend on patrol, so you know there is soul, on piano, and the content is "High" on quality, but the next song is a different situation and I bet Sean would call me irrelevant  (yeah, that's about right). I knew Wiz was a heavy smoker, and that Sean likes his weed, but is this the same drug Chiddy reefer to? This song seems to take me on a different plane like synthetic, audio marijuana (intentional?) I'm curious though..do you see the flashing lights ? "I don't give a f*** about anything, that you're telling me/cause right now it's all, irrelevant,"or maybe it was that comparison which doesn't sound so right, anymore, because now I'm not high, and..darn. It is important to 'live this life' that you have instead of just dreaming because you only live it once, but that does not mean you cannot live the dream if you work hard for it. The song is nothing but a party and made for celebration, so "show em how to live this live." There is "So Much More" to life than pain and rejection, love and hate, music and lyrics, but some of that s*** makes life great!
